If you’re anything like me, you love the convenience, and great taste of the store bought Sweet Potato Fries. Dump them on a pan and in 15-20 minutes you’ve got hot fries. Well, if you have a few extra minutes, you can easily make them from scratch. Seriously. And…they taste better. Shhhh, don’t tell anyone I said that. Anyway, I hope you give these a shot. They are super delicious, a little spicy and the garlic and fresh thyme make them fancy schmancy! Oh, they also go great with these.

December 1, 2011 at 3:58 pmI adore sweet potato fries, but a certain member of the family does not like them at all. So, I usually only order them out. But if they’re this easy, I may have to start making them at home! Looks great and love the spice!
